Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Builds a file path from a variable src/worker.js:24

  fs.appendFileSync(path.join(DATA_DIR, file), JSON.stringify({ ts: new Date().toISOString(), ...obj }) + "\n");

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Blixtworks — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Blixtworks do?

It exposes 68 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: address_validate, base64, caption, case_convert, categorize, check_credit and 62 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is Blixtworks mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around image, json and lookup. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Blixtworks working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 426 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Blixtworks?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Blixtworks need an API key?

No. Blixtworks completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 68 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Blixtworks?

It answers our handshake in 426 ms on average, which is faster than 30% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use Blixtworks?

The npm package blixtworks-mcp was installed 68 times in the last week. Week over week that is -2%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Blixtworks open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at blixtworks.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
